The AI Notes Kit: Study Smarter with AI (FREE) with Raghu Datta

Class notes are written fast, so they come out as half sentences. An AI chat assistant is good at putting what you already wrote in order, and your textbook is good at telling you whether it is right. This free guide shows how to use both, one lecture at a time.

Inside: the six steps after every class; one real BSc/BCA lecture (Operating Systems, deadlock) shown before and after; the textbook check, with a real AI mistake caught; 21 copy-paste prompts grouped by job (organise, key terms, explain, find gaps, check, revise, test yourself, flashcards, Cornell cues, assignments, an exam-season plan); why testing yourself beats rereading; the Cornell page; what to change for your hardest subject; using AI for assignments honestly; the night before an exam; a seven-day practice plan; and a printable checklist for every lecture.

Free, 31 pages, phone friendly, drawn illustrations throughout, including one for every group of prompts.

What you'll learn:

21 copy-paste prompts: Grouped by job: organise, key terms, explain, find gaps, check against the textbook, revise, quiz yourself, flashcards, Cornell cues and assignments. Each prompt tells the AI to keep your words.

One lecture, before and after: Real class notes on deadlock (Operating Systems), then the same notes after two prompts: headings, bullets and key terms.

The textbook check: A four-step check, and a real AI line that was wrong by one word, caught against the textbook.

Study methods with a source: Why testing yourself and spacing revision work better than rereading and highlighting, and the Cornell note page, each with the research linked.

Assignments and exam night: Using AI to explain and check without letting it write for you, and a calm three-line plan for the night before an exam.

A week plan and a checklist: Seven days to make the habit stick on one subject, if-then rules for when it goes wrong, and a printable checklist for every lecture.

FAQs:

Which AI tool do I need?

Any AI chat assistant works: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot or another. The free versions are enough.

Will the AI write my notes for me?

No. The prompts ask the AI to organise the notes you wrote, in your words, and then you check them against your textbook.

Is it only for Computer Science?

The worked example is Operating Systems, but the method and prompts work for any BSc, BCA or degree subject.

Is it really free?

Yes. Download it, use it, and share it with a classmate.
